Bart Simpson Gets a Cell Phone on The Simpsons

History in Our Time: Bart Gets a Cell Phone

Friends, something huge happened on The Simpsons the other night. Yes, Bart Simpson got a cell phone! The episode started off with him being depressed about not having a cell phone (as I'm sure most kids are these days when in the begging process), and then getting one under an unusual — and hilarious — circumstance. Particularly I love the way Bart takes to having a cell phone right away, with the stereotypical "cell phone guy" hand gestures.
